I was hired by Joe Straczynski to create official Babylon 5 music videos for him to use at science fiction conventions, and later to promote the show to networks. We produced eight over the run of the series. Now, 10 years after the end of the series and numerous requests from fans, Straczynski has allowed me to post these online.
This video is the original I made in 1994 just for fun - only 16 episodes had aired at this point. I had made quite a few music videos like this for video dance parties at science fiction conventions in the mid to late 80s, and I was so intrigued by B5 from the beginning that it seemed natural to try it with B5 as well.
Straczynski and I already knew each other online through GEnie - I was a sysop for the B5 section there at the time. I sent a copy to him, he liked it and asked if he could use it at an upcoming convention. Not long after, he asked about actually paying me to do another one. And another. And another....
